Site Characteristics – Scientific Opportunities

Natural CO2 production– Opportunity to study the natural accumulation and

long term effectsCO2 in a reactive rock

– Opportunity to study geochemical effects on both reservoir rock (long term fate of CO2) and caprock(storage security)

– To accomplish this, injection should be in water leg of the same formation

– Still retain engineered system learnings on injection, transport, capacity, etc.

Duperow is a fractured reservoir with very secure caprock

– Opportunity to investigate impact of fracture permeability

Domes Are Attractive Early Storage Target

Half of the current major point source emissions for the next 100 years ~7.5 GTResource Estimate for 3 Domes ~5.3 GT

• Prevent trespass issues – buoyancy flow will take CO2 to top of dome• Storage Efficiency – for Kevin Dome capillary pressure can be as high as

~7 bar driving higher CO2 saturation• Potential use as carbon warehouse – decouple anthropogenic CO2 rate

from utilization rate

Similarity of Purpose and Implementation

CoreViewer was developed to store data and images, as well as to provide visualizations for well core data that was produced by the Big Sky Carbon Sequestration Partnership. The system is implemented in the Drupal content management system and provides a data model to store data about earth materials.

From the Geostash Paper: “The open source database system, Drupal is recommended … and should be integrated into the Energy Data eXchange(EDX) for use by researchers. The EDX development team can write a custom database system with Drupal … that has a user-friendly interface for researchers to search for, request, and upload metadata for geoscience collections.”

CO2 invasion into a fractured system and schematic of laboratory testsBackground:To access CO2 storage capacity in rock matrix, water must drain through fractures and matrix. Capillary continuity allows drainage across fractures to neighboring matrix blocks and requires quantification.Laboratory flow tests were conducted to:1. investigate the fracture-matrix interactions; 2. visualize processes showing the importance of capillary continuity to geologic carbon storage capacity.

Conclusions The capillary continuity across fractures considerably

affects the CO2-water displacement rate and efficiencywithin the observed time scale;

The capillary continuity across fractures is Pc-dependent and can be expressed in terms of fracturewater saturation(Sw,f);

The displacement of water by CO2 across a matrix-fracture system is also affected by the matrixanisotropy.

Motivation for lab seismic study

• Time-lapse (4D) seismic monitoring is one of the best tools we have to see dynamic changes in the subsurface

• Most of our understanding of changes in seismic response due to fluid replacement and stress perturbation are from studies of porous sandstones. We have much less understanding of these effects in low porosity, fractured carbonate reservoirs

• Measurements in the laboratory allow us to deconvolvecomplex effects of geology and gain understanding of the fundamental physics at play during fluid substitution and pressure changes
